There is nothing else quite like the Plymouth Prowler, and there
never will be. Chrysler took a 1993 concept car that stopped auto
show crowds in their tracks and made the decision to actually build
it with almost no changes. The result was one of the most
distinctive production cars ever to roll off an American assembly
line. The 2001 model is particularly special because it was the
last year the Prowler carried the Plymouth name. When production
ended that year, Plymouth was discontinued after more than 70
years, and the Prowler became a Chrysler for its final run in 2002.
This one, finished in Prowler Silver Metallic with a black leather
interior and chrome five spoke wheels, is a very clean example of a
car that turns heads everywhere it goes.
Under the hood is the 3.5 liter V6 backed by a four speed automatic
with Chrysler's AutoStick feature, which lets you tap through the
gears manually when you want to have some fun. The engine puts out
253 horsepower and moves this car with surprising urgency given how
light it is. The Prowler was built on an all-aluminum chassis,
making it the most aluminum-intensive production vehicle in North
America at the time it was built. It was assembled by hand at
Chrysler's Conner Avenue plant in Detroit, right alongside the
Dodge Viper, averaging just 14 cars per day.
Inside, the black leather interior is clean and well appointed. The
silver dash gives the cabin a period-correct retro feel that
matches the whole personality of the car. Power windows and the
convertible top round out a two seat roadster that is surprisingly
comfortable for everyday use despite how wild it looks from the
outside.
Only 3,142 Prowlers were built in 2001, and across the entire
production run from 1997 to 2002, just over 11,700 were ever made
total. These numbers have only gone one direction since production
ended, and clean examples in desirable colors like silver are
quietly climbing in value as collectors realize how short the
window is getting on finding one in this kind of shape.
A genuine American original, in a color and condition that is hard
to argue with.
